Matthew 5:31 - 46 (Standard Version)

Mt 25:31   But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

Mt 25:32   and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

Mt 25:33   and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Mt 25:34   Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Mt 25:35   for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;

Mt 25:36   naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Mt 25:37   Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?

Mt 25:38   And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

Mt 25:39   And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Mt 25:40   And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me.

Mt 25:41   Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:

Mt 25:42   for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;

Mt 25:43   I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Mt 25:44   Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Mt 25:45   Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.

Mt 25:46   And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.
